Topic: Japanese characters not working (Read 2325 times)

I have a number of folders with japanese kanji in names (mostly program files\xxx paths for installed programs).When I tried to create a link to it manually - on copy/paste in config screen I get ??? instead of characters so LaunchBar cannot find the path when running the item.I thought that's the usual non-unicode behavior... well, it is worse.It does the same thing when I have system codepage set to japanese.I asked my japanese friend to try it, she has pure japanese windows so codepage shouldn't be an issue. Well, still the same - even on native jap windows copy/pasting path into config gives ??? instead or kanji.

Well, I think asking for full unicode implementation is too much but can you make it work with windows system codepage properly in these situation?

Thanks, that works for now!When browsing and selecting file and working directory the item works, but characters are garbage. I think japanese windows-932 encoding is shown as pure ascii - two symbols per each character and copy/pasting that unreadable string in hex mode gets me correct string in notepad later.For now I don't really need anything more that simple shortcuts but in a long run it will limit usability - for example, typing kanji into arguments field would be a hard job since you can't see what you type and can't paste them either.
